E1cid's solution works, I only edited `type_name` to:

```auto
type_name: Object.keys(obj_variable.type[0]).toString(),

```

which will pick out BOOL, INT, etc. from the horridly formatted XML. This was based off [array to string on MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/toString).

My original code was inspired by [this post by Steve-Mcl](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/array-to-json-object/46261/2) (and I just noticed you chimed in with a similar fix back then, too, E1cid!)

Thank you so much!
